Here we are on the hill by the high school enjoying the 2012 New Years fireworks. Sarge was not too happy especially when I was lighting fireworks.
Kinda reminds me of the beginning of Desert Storm when they showed Bagdad on TV.
Here is Sarge the Wonderlab at today’s puppy treff. He loves messing with his girlfriend Luna the Saint Bernard.
Just a short video showing our house at night. Watch out for spiders!
Family minister suggests cut to parental benefits – The Local.
Germany continues to cut social benefits that have been in place for decades. I predict that within 50 years the social benefits that Germans receive will be next to nothing based on the German birth rate which is about 1.38 children per mother in 2009. (Germany Birth Rate). This is approximately 8 births per 100o people. The German death rate is 11 per 1000 people and rising.
Using simple math it is easy to see that Germany is quickly running out of people to pay into the big social money post.
Compare this to the US birthrate of 14 per 1000 people and 8 deaths per thousand.
Only 15 other countries have a lower birthrate then Germany. They are (in order):
Americans would be amazed at the amount of social benefits Germans get.
